i can't help but think how bizarre it is that we're seeing all of this happen now i mean under the obama administration as you said he's prosecuted more whistleblowers than every other presidency combined dredging up this archaic piece of legislation to really do this why and now why is this happening right now albeit under the most transparent administration you know self-proclaimed of course yeah i ask myself that a lot as someone who had supported obama i think initially it was to curry favor with the national security and intelligence establishment which has seen him as weak coming into office i think as these cases have evolved and accumulated it's been more about creating bad precedent for actually going after analysts who are in every single indictment and i think overall it creates and in effect it creates an official secrets act which we don't have in this country so even though obama was elected as the change president and on a platform of openness and transparency he actually has expanded the bush secrecy regime that had been put in place over the preceding eight years and thi

jon huntsman, the former ambassador to china, and dennis blair, obama administration employee, did a report recently, and they came up with $300 million and 1.3 million jobs -- 1.2 million jobs. the point of this is, it's a lot of money. it's hundreds of millions of dollars, it's more than a million jobs. this is a great impact on the united states. it happens every year. it is done on purpose by a foreign military. now, i personally believe that if this building you're looking at on the display was a iranian republican guard building in tehran, that building would be a smoldering pile of rubble before i'd had a chance to testify in front of congress or come speak to you about this problem, but it's not. so that begs the question, why? so that brings up why are we like best frenemies with these folks, okay?
